I've been writing an experimental P2V (physical to virtual server 
migration) tool.  It's a live CD, the idea is that you boot it on the 
physical server and it examines the local disks and ships them off to 
your Xen/whatever host where they can be turned easily into a replica 
virtual machine.

The concept works, but the current implementation is a bit broken.  I 
hope to have something working a bit better over the weekend.

Nevertheless, it's just a big shell script so if anyone feels like 
lending a hand then send me an email, or ping me on #virt (@ OFTC).

Rich.
